This flakey, tender, juicy rosemary salmon makes dinner delicious and ready on the table in less than 30 minutes! The foil and parchment paper packet locks in moisture and flavor, making this an irresistible salmon recipe!
Preheat oven (or grill) to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix together rosemary, salt, red pepper flakes, and pepper. Set aside.
Cut a large piece of aluminum foil (approximately double the size of your salmon so you can fold it up). Also cut an equally sized piece of parchment paper. Layer the parchment on top of the foil.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, then place it in the center of the parchment paper.
Drizzle olive oil semi-liberally on top of the salmon. Spread the spice mixture evenly across the top of the salmon, gently patting down as needed. Fold up the long edge of the foil, crimp together, and fold up the ends to create a "packet".
Place the packet on the center rack and bake for 18-24 minutes, depending on the thickness of your cut of salmon. Remove the salmon from the oven when the internal temperature reaches around 137-140F, then let rest until the internal temperature reaches 145F. You'll also know it's ready once it easily flakes.
